I had to resort to Wikipedia to remind myself of basic capabilities and
limitations of Win98 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_98

Fat32 should be ok but there's a reference to issues with drives over
32 gig, also the available RAM may be more than it can manage.
See 'System requirements' and 'Physical RAM limit' at the foot of page.
